Max speed on your bike?

[pratik8890]

Hey Folks, tell us whats the max speed that your have done on your respective bike (s ). so far? Chur.

[pratik8890]

To start of the conversation, i've done 220km/hr yesterday on a backroad in New Plymouth. I can believe how quick she can go. They reckon the max speed on her is 280 ish km/hr, so I guess maybe next time;)

[ellipsis]

...104 kph...

[sil3nt]

...104 kph...

:yes:

I have been measured at 240 kmh on a closed road with proper timing gear (on a Katana), yet I can never seem to get any of my current bikes over 104 kmh.

[caspernz]

So I read backroad and New Plymouth...how do I stop the giggling? :shutup:

I think we will see a lot of 104kph admissions here. I used to top out at 109kpm, but read in an add recently that anything above 104 and I would self destruct and take out dozens of innocent people with me on my reckless path to hell.

You should come down to Wellington when the Gladstone Hill climb quarter mile sprints are on and really test it out. It's a lot of fun, safe and actual recorded speeds, not these ambitious speedo numbers. My MV F3 topped out showing 282 (or somewhere about that) with a true 254kph. Puts an end to all those pub bragging tales.

March and Nov I think are the usual times for the sprints. cliffhanger.org.nz

[munster]

160ish 2 up on the back straight of Pukekohe before they put the chicane in

[bogan]

21st, and you gotta pedal really hard to get that chain to jump onto the smallest sprocket at the back :bleh:

[BoristheBiter]

...104 kph...

in first gear?

mine 287kph indicated so about 267kph

[Samm]

A little over 160km/h on one of the motorways near Westgate. There are a few straight stretches of motorway near there that seem perfect for testing.

[James Deuce]

90 km/hr, but I did take my car up to 104 km/hr yesterday.

I wonder, is the OP 12 or 13 years old, do you think?

[ellipsis]

...my 104kph was probably not accurate...I'm not that much of a daredevil...I did really whizz speedily down a steep Lyttelton hill on an engineless Matchless once...was quite slow pushing it back up to the top though...about a k an hour...I was quite reckless back then though...

[nzmikey]

285kph indicated ..... Allegedly tho

[The Reibz]

[Brett]

104kph. Vehicles don't really go any faster on the roads. Some new fandangled rule of physics.

But I have it on good authority of the following:

Bikes:

ZXR250c: 195kph indicated.
K10 GSXR 750: 289kph indicated.
K5 GSXR 600: 278kph indicated.
2011 CBR1000rr: 292kph indicated.

Cars:

1996 200sx track modified: 257kph.

I wont comment on whether any of the above where at the track, on closed roads at legitimate events or "other".

And I have been told that my 2007 Audi RS4 if de-limited (255kph limiter) will touch 300kph on a long straight road. Not keen to try that one. Too expensive if things go pop.

[The Reibz]

ZXR250c: 195kph indicated.

You must have taken it to that road in south africa where they test the veyron. 60km with no turns?
I remember 160 on my 250 and it felt shady as fuck

[Hitcher]

103.999kmh, according to Mr Garmin.

[rossirep]

fastest iv seen on my speedo is 292kph.. ;-) only on a closed road, out the track, on a run way.. not on the open road. no never.. cause that would be crazy talk..

[Brett]

In all seriousness, these days I think that doing warp speed on the road is retarded and for idiots. It's closed roads and trackdays for me these days. It's not the killing myself bit I am worried about, but a bike at 200kph through the side of a car is going to do some serious damage to the car occupants and I want no part in being responsible for the death of someones loved one. Traveling at high speed is a whole lot of fun, but time/place and all that. In any case, I much prefer a remote winding road for a bit of fun.

[The Reibz]

If you haven't been 150kph on a suburban street, you don't deserve a licence...

[pritch]

I may have inadvertently allowed the speedo to creep up perhaps as high as 109kph on my way home from Auckland.
This is no idle boast, it's just possible I will be able to obtain photographic evidence in support of this claim. :whistle:
Of course it's also possible that the traffic that was temporarily obstructing my progress at the time may also be in the picture which will spoil it.
I hope!

[jasonu]

240kph on my RZ500 going north down the Bombay hills. Flat on the tank and was flat out, wouldn't go any faster.
250kph on my 1987 GSXR1100 between Hamilton and Auckland.
Both are indicated, both really early Sunday mornings, both (looking back) really stupid and both many, many moons ago.

[Swoop]

Sadly my speedo only shows 100km/h. Boring life that it is. Oh to be able to reach the velocity of 105km/h.

I wonder, is the OP 12 or 13... do you think?
I was going for iq...:rolleyes:

[Robbo]

103.999kmh, according to Mr Garmin.


Geeze Hitcher, you only had .001km/hr in reserve before becoming a criminal.
You must like living life on the edge. LOL :niceone:

An interesting experiment would be to see if all speedo's were made to say only read up to 120kph if many people would still feel the need to see how high (kph) they can go. I would hazard a guess that many people's ego's center around being able to say I have gone 'X' fast. Take away the measuring stick and I would guess many people would lose interest in seeing how fast they can go with nothing to gauge it by.

What was your 250? Unless it was a 2 smoker, the only other 250 that would keep a ZXR250 is the CBR250RR.

I have had an RS125 Aprilia around the 180 mark so I could see a 250 2smoke nudging 200

[Brett]

An RS250 would crack 200kph I would have thought.

104-109 depending on time of year.

I've had my 600 SRAD up to 250kmh (indicated). I haven't tried again since Roger fixed the carbs up though, but it goes faster now. Speedo over reads by 10% according to GPS since I've gone -1 on the front sprocket.

This was done for a while in the USA in the 1970s. It was spectacularly unsuccessful and abandoned.

[2smokes]

Took the sevenfiddy for a ride to see how fast it can go. Up to 105 before I new it! Luckily the bus full of orphans and nuns didn't get sucked into my wake and explode. I'll have to wait for the adrenalin to subside before I test the eleven.:shit:

104kmph is well fast in my book

300kph in the memory bank. I have to say it felt as though I was hardly moving.

[pritch]

It wasn't only the USA, for some years Japanese cars had speedos that read to a max 180kph.

[2smokes]

It wasn't only the USA, for some years Japanese cars had speedos that read to a max 180kph.

If you remember waaay back to the late '80s all the ping-a-ling domestic super bikes had 180km speedos. Crazy idea, not sure what they had in mind.

[neels]

Have had the speedo indicating around 200 but of course only in a situation in which no lepers or homeless children would be harmed.

I may also have been asleep at the time, so I can't prove anything, and neither can anyone else.

I'm sure my Ducati can go faster than that if it felt so inclined, as I know for a fact that it goes much faster when someone other than me is riding it.

Got an Ariel 500 avec sidecar up to trotting speed once and it felt scary about to explode fast before it pulled me into a muddy bank. Didn't have the nerve to kickstart the f**ker again after being almost crippled by the first attempt.

My CBX 1000 put the fear of God at any speed whenever going into a lumpy corner with anything like luggage on the rear whereas my VFR doesn't seem to get upset at anything and feels reassuringly tame after that.

Fastest bike I had or what felt like the fastest bike was my little CB160 (top speed 70mph) way back in the 60's, a bike which rode like it just came off the IOM.

I have been measured at 240 kmh on a closed road with proper timing gear (on a Katana), yet I can never seem to get any of my current bikes over 104 kmh. Haha DO you have a cop seating on your passenger seat so that you cant go more than 104 kph?:blink:

fastest iv seen on my speedo is 292kph.. ;-) only on a closed road, out the track, on a run way.. not on the open road. no never.. cause that would be crazy talk.. I see thats pretty fast mate and good on ya for doing it on a close road ( causing no harm to others )

I respect what you say Brett and that the reason why I did it on a back country road with hardly any traffic and it was a straight road too so I had a clear vision of next few kms down the road :)


If you haven't been 150kph on a suburban street, you don't deserve a licence... If youre refering to suburban street as a closed road/back country road with 0 traffic then I'm with ya if not a big NAYYYY from me..

Up to 130 - 140km hr when passing say a truck and trailer. Not interested in finding out what the top speed is. Fair enough.

It was the first time I achieved that speed on my bike and it was a straight road but it was merging into an open road after few kms so I just took it easy cos there's always a next time you know :)

To start of the conversation, i've done 220km/hr yesterday on a backroad in New Plymouth. I can believe how quick she can go. They reckon the max speed on her is 280 ish km/hr, so I guess maybe next time;)

How long have you been riding? Because, TBH, you sound like a spectacularly violent and fatal cartwheel down the road waiting to happen. Or worse, a torpedo into the side of some innocent person's cruise around the mountain, ensuring at least two families end up grieving.

Yes I'm a killjoy and I don't give a flying fuck. Get some ride training and get off the road if you want to do that shit.

I thank you for your concern but I'm not a violent rider, I just bought me my first Super bike so I just took it out to the outskirts ( virtually no one around ) on a straight road to test how quick it can be etc. I wouldnt ever put my self into a situation where any one could get hurt cos of me. And I've be riding road bikes ever since I was 10 years old :)

No, when it flicked over it said 3675ish kph. 2500ish by the time we got back to AKL
It is a glitch in the Garmin GPS always happens between Matamata and the Morinsville turn off.

I doubt you have been riding on the road since you were 10. Not in NZ you haven't, anyway.

But what was I thinking? What could possibly go wrong at 220 on a back road? After all, I can't imagine any scenarios where that could end badly. Can you?

You may have been riding bikes a tad longer and the focus may not be the same, but you remind me of this guy (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/132965-Progression-of-a-total-motorcycle-noob). Page 8 has some great photos.

Yes it was overseas and riding at any speed can be dangerous so many things could go wrong but thats the risk we all take and I could always risk my life but not others. Therefore I chose to go faster on a country road with no traffic at all :) ANd I'd call my self an intermediate rider cos I believe being an outstanding rider is a life long process but I'll get there one day.

OKay and thats quite an interesting glitch, what if Cops have the same glitch on their radar guns when theyre watching us. Wonder what will happen then ?:laugh:

I made plenty of mistakes on my 250's.......a fuckload to be honest, so when I bought my first big bike, I went in cautious, I didn't repeat those mistake. You have to respect all bikes, but superbikes can be unforgiving, they'll flick you off or put you into a hedge before you know it and what few recognize is you don't have to be going fast for them to burn you, so image making a mistake at that speed.

Sounds like a buzzkill, but since upgrading, I haven't crashed, haven't wrecked etc. I've had close calls, but the defensive riding is what kept them close calls. Now, no one can change the way you ride but imagine belting down that road, you've done it 1000 times before and on the 1001 time some kids wanders across, who'd been chilling out or playing...I don't know, you get the fucking idea. It ain't worth it.

You got a beaut bike, check it's limits on the track, try beat your lap time. The only thing you'll beat on the road when doing those speeds is the grim reaper...well till next time.

No such things as an intermediate rider, just responsible and irresponsible riders. Those that think they will one day attain 34th level grandmaster of operating a fucking two wheeled machine quickly on public roads are irresponsible...in my opinions. . You're always learning, shit there isn't a time I don't go out on my busa that I don't learn something.

I stole a bike from a parking lot...Then I took it to a chop shop to get it all custom fitted with carbon fiber fairings. I got the engine done up and flash new rims. Got some real bright looking lights. Easily spent 30k+ on it. Then I took it speeding down the road unsure of speed. Next thing I get T-boned and fly off the bike basically dieing. However I emerge from the hospital and I've now lost my bike I stole and put 30k into.

That doesn't match my reading. The Japanese factories limit their bikes to 300kph by mutual agreement. MV is not a Japanese factory and the F4 was claimed to be faster (fastest).

I was at a bbq yesterday when a friend told me about a neighbour of his who has a Panigale. I've met him once, but dont really know him.

Apparently he goes out at weekends and does high speeds. Last weekend he was bitter about being overtaken while doing 250.

What am I doing about it? Having time off with my family. If I come across him while working and he's doing naughty things we'll meet professionally.

I'm pondering having a word with him though. Bit silly those speeds.

I don't fancy getting my head knocked off by some clown's out of control motorcycle, nor even getting his blood (or my own) all over my bike. I hate having to clean blood off me bike. Even my grand-daughter won't help wash off blood...

Funnily enough I once managed to get my blue ninja (ZX9R C1)to a calculated 170....mph Worked out the speed from the revs and the final gearing. Couldn't read the speedo as I smashed it in a highside when I was going slow on the straight :cool:

Had the RSVR to an indicated 245kmh at Puke, but it was geared for the streets and not top speed at the track. Would have been faster if I had pootled through Castrol and waited till upright before opening the throttle.

I never used to look much at the speedo until recently, however my speedo seems to stick at and indicated 107 kmh....lucky that the speedo indicates 7% more than actual :baby:

[chasio]

Agreed. But the OP did state 2xx on the road; not in his question, but in his own answer to it.

[onearmedbandit]

An interesting experiment would be to see if all speedo's were made to say only read up to 120kph if many people would still feel the need to see how high (kph) they can go. I would hazard a guess that many people's ego's center around being able to say I have gone 'X' fast. Take away the measuring stick and I would guess many people would lose interest in seeing how fast they can go with nothing to gauge it by.

This is the reason Jap cars and bikes had speedos that topped out at 180km/h. Yes their vehicles were also restricted to this but the domestic market model had the lower speedo to not encourage drivers to go faster than that.

Oh and for the record 299km/h indicated. 8% speedo error (from GPS tests).

[Pogo2]

Did South Auckland to Thames in 15 mins averaging 240kph. However time does to include taxi, engine run up or pre take off checks!

All of the bikes and cars I've had that are capable of 180kph+ speeds have had these speedo's.
Actually 2 weren't cabable of 170 kph but they still went well off the clock on the speedo.

Bloody annoying, if you wind really wind them up they sometimes stick 'off the clock' My VFR has had it stuck there for half a day.

Get some nice sporty bike like a Suzuki A100, sit on the pillion seat as far back as you can and still reach the bars. Roll the bike forwards at walking pace whilst standing, pull in the clutch and rev the nuts off the bike, hit the front brake and as you release it drop the clutch and sit down pulling up on the bars. If the front goes too high, just place your feet on the ground and step out of the way of the bike falling backwards on you.:cool:

[pratik8890]

from what I hear your alil bit of the wheelie master ;-).. so maybe next time your out on ya bike you can take some video and show us how its done.. or is your 600 not grunty enough to pop a mono..?? Aye ?:wait: I dont know how to wheelie mate and I wont ever do wheelies on my MV Agusta 750 F4 cos she's so precious to me so I cant risk her at any stake.

I can pop the front up on my GSXR, but I can't keep it up (insert dirty joke here) because I don't have the skills. You do it on your bike and I'll watch. I can't promise the video won't end up on bestgore.com, however.

So far, GPS says 195 on main straight of Ruapuna, I really need some more brave pills for that last corner...

[Jantar]

I had to go into town today to get a new front tyre, so on the way I decided to check the top speed. Sure enough 104 kmh indicated, but the GPS only said 94. I mentioned it to the mechanic at the bike shop and he suggested 104 would be about right. Apparently the bike will go faster if I change out of 1st gear, but according to the police there are no roads in New Zealand where I can do that without instantly killing myself.

[swbarnett]

Parts of my bike have attained somewhere up to Mach 0.855 (920 km/h)*










*Depening on the actual plane they were in at the time.

[rastuscat]

186km & I have the police infringement notice, court documents to prove it :brick: not that I would ever ever do it again :nono:

It's not an infringement notice. It's a Traffic Offence Notice. Infringements only go up to 50 over.

Silly me. Nick picking knobend.

The ground speed could even have exceeded Mach 1!

[R650R]

See below.



+1 to all of this.

The easiest way of all is to just shift you butt back an inch or two from your normal riding position. There's no need to clutch or do anything fancy then, it does require quite a conscious effort though and can feel like a bit if a stretch to the bars...
Don't do wheelies these days as you have to be doing them often to be good/safe at it then it can still go pear shaped easy... Like a foot slipping off a peg on a private road while a mates zx6 is synchronously wheeling alongside and taking off his indicator which is rather close to the handlebar...
It's cool while its all going right but it goes wrong for many, like another mate who flipped his TZR250 then to add insult to injury got charged with careless riding causing injury... To himself!

[swbarnett]

The ground speed could even have exceeded Mach 1!
I'm not sure they'd fly a 747 in a hurricane. You'd need a 156kph tail wind to get a Mach 1 ground speed.

[SMOKEU]

I'm sure they'd take advantage (http://www.askcaptainlim.com/flying-the-plane-flying-90/246-would-the-jet-stream-push-the-plane-beyond-the-speed-of-sound.html) of the jet stream (http://www.pprune.org/questions/49991-ground-speed.html).

I thought a MV Agusta 750 F4 would power wheelie in 2nd gear under hard acceleration, without needing to use the clutch or provoke it in any other deliberate way.

You'd think to get to 220km/h he would have to accelerate hard. If he hasn't had a power wheelie in 1st or 2nd, his bike or his wrist is broken.

[Drew]

Jesus tittie fucking Christ.

Imagine the way you roll the throttle on as you leave a set of lights. Got it? Right. Now hook second gear (not after a hard launch by the way), and as you are rolling the throttle again and ya get to about a quarter of the way round, dip the clutch for the briefest of moments. Just enough to spike the revs about 1000-1500 rpm. Carry on rolling the throttle as if you are riding away from the lights.

BOOM. The front wheel is coming up as nice and smooth as you've ever seen in a video.

But wait, there's more. As the wheel is coming up you're gonna want to get it high and throttle off. THIS IS A MISTAKE!!! What you actually want to do is gradually ease back on the power while it's still coming up.

It'll take a while, and you'll get well fucked off with your retarded self no end, but you will learn to time it all right instinctively with practice.

I have just described THE SAFEST way to do wheel stands. It has all been said before of course, but you lot seem to all be too lazy to use the search function. Power wheelies are in fact the LEAST SAFE way to wheelie. The bike is getting fucken fast, really fucken suddenly. Anything or anyone in the way is dead meat if you do it that way, and when it goes over (and it can do it with seemingly no warning) it hurts MUCH MUCH more.

I usually encourage people to get the hang of it in second gear first, but the bike will be doing 100kph when things level off if you're on something half modern. So if it suits and you know your bike quite well, do it just the same in first gear.

Remember. The slower you're going, the less it's gonna hurt.

Any knob can ride fast in a straight line. It's slow speed skills that sort the men out from the boys.

Yep I'll second that, having a behemoth kawa Y2K Vulcan that tips the scales at 600kg plus when two up with all luggage too.

Ya learn real quick as to how to manage and manipulate that much heft at low speed around town, parking, heavy stop/start traffic, u turns etc. Can make ya wince at times if it's about to turn to poos, lol.

Who said slow speed skills?

http://youtu.be/90BxTrAADi4

What floats my boat, not drag racing.

For the ordinary rider fast (or slow) is referenced in MPH (or KPH if you struggle under the Napoleonic measurement system) so much so that the ordinary rider even gets a Speed-O-Meter that tells them exactly how fast their sooper-dooper GSZXARKSP 1000 is going at any given time. This blinds the ordinary rider into thinking that because MPH is the only thing that is measured and displayed, MPH is the only thing that matters.

Degrees per second. How fast can you corner? The only bit that matters..

DPS is the measurement we use for two of the bikes important parameters, its Roll Rate and its Rate of Heading Change i.e. how fast we can lean it and how fast we can turn it and it is in high values of DPS that give the Moto Gymkhana rider their stunning speed.

The dude with no hands is hitting 120 DPS, your average rider, not that involved, is maybe 40 DPS, the guns are hitting 160 DPS. Crotch rocket drag stars are big fat zeros.

[caseye]

Almost the dumbest thread I've ever seen here on KB.
To actually ask what the highest speed attained by other riders on a public forum and expect serious answers is dumb as!
104KPH ( not that I agree with the reasoning or invoking of this unreasonable irresponsible piece of garbage masquerading as a good idea) is the only sane answer for road riding folks.
Whatever speed attained on a race track, closed road is safe to repeat but hells bells Op you've got to be kidding, don't you?????
When did car manufacturers fix their 10% speedo reading inaccuracy problem?
You see, if they haven't and I'm sure they haven't, then the arbitrary setting of a fine based system at 104 is senseless, oh wait, callous, calculated revenue gathering above and beyond any pretext of safety.
Educate all new drivers properly, give them instructor based teaching one on one for many hours before giving them anything like a licence.All road conditions riding/driving, skid control,institutional awareness, fear of being caught doing something stupid that will remove your licence and see you starting all over again from scratch.This sort of time and effort will virtually eradicate the dickhead drivers from our roads and most of us can then get on and enjoy our motoring/riding in comparative safety.

[SMOKEU]

Then they will just end up driving without a license, and short of putting them in jail or home D, some people are going to drive no matter what the courts say.

Not if you fix the public transport system at the same time. That's what I loved about the Swiss roads; those that don't want to drive don't have to. And those that do drive have to fork out several grand and pass a three hour exam to get a license.

In urban NZ, people don't have to drive either. I haven't had a cage for over 2 years, and I use a push bike for day to day transport. If people weren't so lazy they could do the same.

Yes, it can be done. I have a freind that doesn't own any kind of vehicle at all. He is lucky enough to live near the train line but even then he relies heavily on colleagues going his way to get to and from work. He also uses taxis a lot.

Not everyone is physically able to cycle.

With reference to Switzerland, I was talking not just about about within cities but also between them. You could get a ride on a post bus to even the smallest, most remote town on a daily basis IIRC (it was at least weekly).

[Mushu]

Shit, there are so many wanking on about how any illegal speed is so dangerous that we're all gonna die if someone speeds.
For the record my best effort is 271 on the R6.
Couldn't quite make 160 on the ninja
About 170 on the DR, all indicated as I can't mount my phone on the bike to read my GPS.

I have topped out every vehicle I have ever owned and will likely continue to do so, all on public roads but always in areas with good visibility and usually when there is noone around at all.

I got to 109km/h before december.

I got pulled over today by the police. Apparently someone on a similar bike, around the same area, wearing dragging jeans, 4 months ago went past this officer at self exploding speed. So he told me he radioed for back up while following me before pulling me over because he thought I would run.... He wouldn't believe me that it wasn't me :facepalm:

Slightly off topic rant, but it involves deadly speed on a deadly straight with 2 or 3 drive ways. Just really annoyed me because I wasn't speeding and it wasn't me he was looking for. Not to mention when he pulled me over he said he was sure it was me, and he can't prosecute me for it now, it was too long ago.... But kept trying to bait me into saying it was me. I wasn't going to get too cheeky to him in case he decided to keep hassling me.

[BuzzardNZ]

215 and I came round a bend where 2 lanes of the motorway merge into one. Problem was there was a cop car driving in the same direction as me.
No way could I pass him doing that, so I jammed on the brakes, locked up the back end with a bit of a wobble back there. Looked back in my mirrors, saw loads of smoke, but managed to duck behind the copper.

I could see the cop looking in his mirrors trying to figure out what was going on. Luckily they don't have rear facing radar and I managed to keep shiney side up!

Didn't get pulled over and rode all :innocent: behind him until I got home!

Pretty sure they do. Last ride I got in a police car, the radar was constantly showing a speed for other traffic, and an arrow pointed as to whether said speed was for a car forward or aft.

[superjackal]

In any case, I much prefer a remote winding road for a bit of fun.

I'll bet there's still a bit of law-breaking in that too. Most people on here wouldn't ride in a way that endangered anyone.

125kph on the old GN and 170kph out of the ER-5, more to come but not much. This was in a virtual reality video game...

I do wonder about guys on the big bikes doing more than 200kph. Cant fathom it at the moment/my current skill level. It the braking I wonder about....

[Banditbandit]

Pretty sure they do. Last ride I got in a police car, the radar was constantly showing a speed for other traffic, and an arrow pointed as to whether said speed was for a car forward or aft.

I was heading home one night on a Hawke's Bay rural road (Dartmoor Valley for those who know) ... came to the long straight ... three cars about half way up it .. I thought "I'll pass them by the end of the straight" .. I was sitting on 180 (indicated) when my lights hit the rear car .. white, with yellow and blue stripers !!!!

I was on the brakes very hard indeed .. I'm not sure if the cop even knew I was there .. they certainly did not stop .. by my adrenalin was pretty high for a while ...

[Lower]

my little gn maxes out at 135 on a good day. And I'd say that's only 125 because the speedo is always a bit optimistic.

You should talk to The Reibz about that. It's something he's been wondering about a bit lately too.

I haven't had the opportunity to tap out my current bike legally. My last bike was timed at 265.08km/hr, not bad for an old shitter I thought.

[Big Dave]

My KLR *might* do 160kph.

I have 'mostly' pinned a Hyabusa, ZX14 and a V-Max though - and hit close to 300 a few times on the track. I think - at that speed I'm generally packing it too hard to look at the speedo for long.

[Mushu]

My KLR *might* do 160kph.

Get some motard wheels and road tires, I can get about 15 to 20 ks faster on my DR with the motard setup.

the low 200s is not that fast once you've been there a few times ... higher up - well you do get a bit of tunnel vision ... and you don't look at the speedo too often or for long ... Brakes ?? You just hope nothing happens because you've done it in a reasonably safe place .. like NOT on the Dorkland motorway ..

Of course!

Gotta love that road for making progress. I did Switzerland to The Netherlands border to border with an average of 160kph in a fully loaded station wagon.
